Mate 8 NXT-L29 is it Dual Sim Full active ? - Mate 8 General

I visited many sites like amazon.de and all of them they describe all NXT-L29 models as Dual Sim Stand by and not as Dual Sim Full Active.
Has anyone got NXT-L29 model to confirm if it Stand by only or Full Active ?
I would like also to ask if NXT-L29 supports Band 20 at 800Mhz.
Best Regards to all friends of XDA.

I think its Full active. When I call on SIM 1 and anybody calls me on SIM 2 I can change to the SIM 2 call

Both SIMs are active for GSM or 2G. I get sms and calls on both. They have separate ring tones as well.... cool phone.
You can only choose one SIM for data and you will of course choose the one with the best speeds if you have data left

It is working like a charm in DSFA. This is the last phone of Huawei that support it. This is the reason for buying it.
I hope the mate 10 to to become DSFA because is the only reason to buy a Huawei again.

Yes, 100% Mate 8 is DSFA. Unfortunately Mate 9 is not.

Unlock FDD LTE Band 20 on OnePlus 2?

Hello,
I received my Oneplus 2 today and it does not support the LTE Band 20. It`s the chinese Version and i would like to ask if anyone figured out a method to unlock the LTE Band 20. It`s because the Hardware of the Oneplus Chinese version is the same like the European version.

Sounds like the OPO all over again. Remember seeing varying reports of success with that.

Actually it seems it is not same hardware. The modem is propably different.
It is also clearly stated that the Chinese version doesn't have Band 20

Huawei mate 8 Full Active proof

Huawei mate 8 Full Active proof
Calling via sim 2 while data still working on sim 1
In this case the phone call through SIM 2 uses the GSM network.
As indicated in the specs, only one 3G/4G connection at a time can be supported.

yes but most phones will cut off data while using another sim for calling or act like the phone is off when calling and the other sim is in call

This is very good news this means that I don't have to carry around d 2 phones anymore for my business. What app is that that shows the connection speed in the notification bar up top? That could be useful.

Why Mate 8 NXT-AL10 doesn't use (display) 4G+ logo in France ?

Hello,
I have a friend who has the Mate 8 in version 64Go/3Go with and model NXT-AL10.
He has setuped his phone for France ie DL play store, and change some stuff but he doesn't change the rom for a NXT-L29.
So everything works but the logo "4G+" is never displayed.
He has tried all mobile phone providers : Orange, Bouygues Telecom, Free, RED.
It never happened. Always 4G but never 4G+.
When he try to benchmark the network he has a high rate for a 4G connection but never go beyond the theorical value of a 4G rate.
So he supposes that the logo and rates are 4G (he hopes having the logo 4G and the rate of 4G+ connnection but in fact No).
Do you have an idea of this issue ?
Best Regads,
NXT-AL10, stock rom, stock bootloader, no root or bl unlock - CA works fine in Poland.

The 4G+ symbol is not used by Huawei, so don't worry.
Ok so that's why it is never displayed.
Many thanks themissionimpossible.
He told me on his Mate 7 (he had just before) it was displayed 4G+.
So that why he is surprised that is doesn't work now on the Mate 8.
I suppose that is due to the rom NXT-AL10.
The chinese mobile does not try to merge frequencies 2600Mhz and 800Mhz that are the 2 frequencies used for 4G+ connection in France.
But I am not sure that is the source isssue.
On this French website about 4G+ in France the Mate 8 is said to be compatible:
http://www.cnetfrance.fr/produits/4...ibles-et-la-couverture-en-france-39808303.htm
I don't think there might be differences between AL10 and L29.

Yes I also found this source.
So that's why we (my friend and I) are thinking about the fact that this issue may come from the AL10 version.
In fact if someone could have a AL10 version with the 4G+ symbol.
It will be a great news.

Hi pk.waw,
I saw your message, but may be his phone might display 4g+ in Poland. The fact that 4g+ in france is the fusion of 2600mhz and 800mhz make a differemce with poland.
I told him to check that if he goes in poland.
nxt-al10, [email protected] version at China Unicom operator is working greatly, So i have the 4G symbol.
Maybe it´s can be related with kind of LTE. China Unicom use FDD-LTE.
Hi pk.waw,
Might you provide me a screenshort please ?
Best Regards,
Possible solution
Please open Settings, go to More section and open Mobile networks,turn LTE 6 CA trigger on.

Makes no difference. There is no 4G+ icon in the framework (up to firmware 172 at least), already looked for it.

Hi Fabriziio,
Don't waste your time, it seems that only NXT-L09 can aggregate those 2 frequencies.
It's very odd cause the official version in France is the NXT-L29.
Could a software solution be found for this issue...

Very interesting many thanks.
On the mate 7 this kind of configuration was possible with the file "update_cust.app"
But I don't know how to do the same thing on the Mate 8.
I contacted the VMALL support to ask them which version of the Mate 8 is sold (NXT-L09 or NXT-L29).
They told me that is the L29. So I will not buy the Mate 8 because thanks to "grofock" I know that the NXT-l29 does not support 4G+ in France and doesn't support the band B28 700Mhz and is only available in 32Go.
If it was the L09 may be I should have taken it.
So do you think that the NXT-L09 will works in France with 4G+ :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Huawei-...tory-Unlocked-Space-Gray-Silver-/361498340300
All features should be ok and available.
Fabriziio said:

However the L09 is the single SIM model, so this might be the reason of the available LTE band aggregation.
The new Huawei P9 Plus will be single SIM in Europe.
Ok but I don't understand why a mobile which is single or dual sim change anything about its band aggregation.

Sorry but this forum is for the Honor V9. Honor 8 Pro has its own dedicated forum. You may post there.

Oh. Sorry about that. I doubt it will work because the V9 is the chinese/asian variant of Honor 8 Pro, but maybe OP can try.
it has band 7 support so it will work on 4G with voda. however it doesnt have the band 20 (800) which is the other band most EU networks use and the other voda band .

unlock N77 band on oneplus 8 Pro

I am living in a region which only got n77 for 5G network
Just wondering can it be done via pc software editing or something like the volte method.
Its brother find x2 pro comes with n77 by default, but it is not officially available on onelpus 8 pro.
I'm trying to find out about unlocking bands using regional firmware but even Oneplus aren't giving me a straight forward answer on this
I brought oneplus 8t 5g from India to Bangkok. operator in Thailand(AIS) uses N41 Band and in India N78... Here 5g is not working, what can i do to make it work.. kindly help
My 8 pro in my (network) country does not have 5g. (I have a new 5g SIM)
I talk to OnePlus tech and they say that it will be solved in future updates.
It will be faster if each one of you talk to Oneplus tech and they see that many people need more 5g bands.
